A Summer Southwest Salad
When I began teaching I would often stock up on these ingredients for the week and bring this salad to work. It doesn't require a lot of chopping, which makes it quick to throw together on your way out the door. I used to sprinkle salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil, but over time I've created a simple marinade that gives this salad its southwest flavor.
